Day Trip to the Indian Countryside

Day Trip to the Indian Countryside New Delhi Reviews

On a recent business trip (back) to India (this was my tenth tour of duty), my friend and business companion brought me to his 40 acre ranch in the countryside south of Delhi. I never knew that just outside this sprawling metropolis, could be such a rural landscape. It didn't take long to get away from the hustle and bustle either. Right around the 45 minute mark, the buildings ended and the hills and flora started. The views from the hill tops were beautiful and the animal watching was exotic - monkeys, peacocks, camels, colorful insects and birds, etc... One of the farmers nearby to my friends property was kind enough to bring me for a ride on his camel; quite the experiences. All in all, I suppose that I always considered tourism in India to be restricted to the cities and towns, focusing on the major attractions a la the Taj Mahal, but the Indian country has just as much to offer. On my next trip, I will be heading up to Leh in the northern Indian Himalayan mountains and will experience more of the India countryside. More to follow on that!!
